CONRAD-MOSHER, Phylis Madalyn

Phylis Madalyn Conrad Mosher, 93, of First South, NS, passed away peacefully on January 28, 2024, surrounded by the love of her family.

Born in First South in 1930, Phylis is predeceased by her parents, Laura and Elton Conrad.

She was survived by her husband of 68 years, Warren, who sadly passed on March 8; their four children, Tanis MacDougall (Bill), Paula Himmelman (David), Conrad Mosher (Darlene) and Nancy Tanner; her eight grandchildren, Dewar (Jessica), Liberty, Kelly (Danny), Laura, Andrew (Lesley), Ryan (Meghan), Julia (Chris), Nicolas (Jenna), and her seven great-grandchildren Ben, Nina, Henry, Mac, Gracie, Gabe and Luca. She is also survived by her niece Sonia Ottens (Ronnie), her sisters-in-law, Barbara Kinsella, Pam Mosher, Debbie Dangelo and many nieces and nephews.

In addition to her parents, she is predeceased by her older brother, Marshall; her sister-in-law, Betty; her nephew, David; her older sister, Lucille; her nephew, Marshall Oickle; and her brother-in-law, Bob Kinsella; son-in-law, Trevor Tanner.

Phylis lived a long and well lived life. She was an accomplished self-trained artist and poet, often painting and writing about the things closest to her: her family and the natural beauty of her home in coastal Nova Scotia. She loved music and playing the piano while surrounded by her family.

In 1951, she met her husband Warren of 68 years and together they raised their family in Newton, Massachusetts, where she made many lifelong friends and enjoyed the city lights and energy of Boston. After moving back to Lunenburg in 1975, she travelled many miles with her husband back and forth to both Massachusetts and Florida.

Phylis was happiest and the most alive when surrounded by her family. She was adored by her children and then later in life by each of her eight grandchildren. She dedicated her time to supporting them in their many activities, and showered them with endless love, affection, and postcards along the way.

Phylis will forever be remembered by those who knew her for her incredible ability to perfectly cook you the most delicious meal. Her recipes will be handed down for generations as her great grandchildren are already starting to learn to cook her recipes. Her meals were made with all of her heart.

Her soul was deeper than the ocean, her love was stronger than the tides and her heartbeat was for her family. Love you forever, Sweetie! xxxx oooo

The family would like to extend a special thank you to the staff at Rosedale Home for Special Care for their wonderful and compassionate care of Phylis for the last four years.
